22A Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Plans have been announced for Sky's live broadcasts next season. 40 games from the SPL, over 100 from the Football League (does that mean each of the 72 clubs will have at least one home game shown)? Over 120 games from the Premiership (six home games for each of the twenty clubs). Makes sense in a way because Sky continue to inform us the Prem is the most exciting and watched league in the world. Despite that however, nearly 130 Spanish games will be shown live. Are we meant to be that interested in the Spanish league when everyone want to see the Prem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I watched loads of Spanish games this season - good to see they are showing so many again. The interesting time for SKY will be when they lose the Champions League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Fills the evening time so I can understand why so many Spanish games are shown, 100 games from the football league means that 85-90 or so will be in the championship and Leeds/Cardiff/Fulham etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always found it boring personally and even worse as I couldn't care less about the result Apparently statistically speaking the German league is the most exciting in Europe With more passes shots on goal, and goals than any other league. So you would think sky would be showing more German football.! BT Sport show a fair bit of German football, maybe worth considering before subscribing to sky. They also have their share of premiership matches, and BT Sport is free with certain cable/sat packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted May 26, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 15 of those FL games will be the play-offs, leaving 85 regular season games, about 2 a week. I reckon at least 60 of the 85 will be Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Presently the rugby league is the only reason I'm keeping the sports. Its becoming increasingly hard to justify, considering I watched pretty much every Chelsea game last season* for free by streaming online. The way football is packaged is outdated, and I suspect the house of cards will tumble down soon. *When I qas at home and there was a game on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use mash up but its hit and miss I use various add-ons for HD tv shows but don't use the Sky Sports ones as I prefer watching in HD downstairs. A work colleague (on the Geraldine) was overjoyed to discover the Sky add on though. I'll try to find out which add on it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rizzle Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Can someone explain this add-on business to me? I've tried streaming games online loads of times but it's very hit and miss, generally poor quality, buffers lots and lots of pop up adverts! Is there something I'm missing? What's the best way to stream games online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted May 26, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 It's a program called XBMC and the add-ons for that. Google provides all the information you need if you search for XBMC & then XBMC add-ons. Don't want to go into too much detail on the forum as we would never seek to actively promote file streaming.
